Hackers smash Xbox lockout
Micoroft’s blocked chipped Xbox 360s from its Live service, but hackers aren’t taking it lying down, they’ve hacked their way in again! Multi-play hungry hackers won’t be slowed by Microsoft’s attempts to lock their chipped consoles out of the Live service – they’ve cooked up a tasty hack to circumvent the big M’s checks.
Dubbed iXtreme firmware, the hack-tastic update “defeats all current and some future Xbox Live detection attempts” its creators say.
It means Microsoft’s once more being taken for a ride by cheeky chippers but we bet this won’t be the last we hear of it.
